Hello, I'm Andrea & Im pretty new & a bit nervous to attempt some of these steps. But I very much need some help please.
I have the Moto G Stylus XT2043-4 {2020, I think} through Metro PCS, we've got 3 of these identical phones. However 1 of them is NOT BOOTING UP Correctly. {Using chat with Motorola rescue assistant, they stated: Phone has A/B Slot boot failure, & it is in AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure) & only way to fix is to Completely Reset & Start From Scratch.
You see this is My Daddy's phone, who Passed Away on March 6th... & I Desperately Don't Want To Completely WIPE ANYTHING as in User Info/Data if at all possible. So I'm turning here in hopes of assistance to SAVE My Daddy's Stuff that's on his phone.
I have read and attempted the advice/info in some of the threads here & I frankly get a little confused and a bit more nervous when it comes to things here {commands/input correctly} BUT I HAVE TO TRY. Also I am UNABLE To Do Anything as far as Switching USB Connection Type, Debugging, or Enable ADB, from the phone screen or when connected to pc. I feel like I literally need baby steps & entirely walked through this process PLEASE???
I'll post a couple pics of what screen says currently as it attempts to power up, hopeful this will help anyone willing to help me here.
Thank you for reading this longa** post & any attempts to assist me are very greatly appreciated, as I just can't bear to Ruin the last of my Daddy's pics & things from his phine, it is literally the only thing my son & I have left of my Daddy...
Feel free to message me if needed if any possiblity to help.
Love & Light,
Andrea

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any way to get data off of the phone.
The only thing that might be possible, is if he backed up the photos with google photos, and he signed in with another device like a PC.
You could use the PC to access the photos.

Thank you for your info & thought; sd_shadow...
However, my Daddy was 80 years Young & barely able to use this device & had never laid a finger on any other type of system, computer, etc... I tried to show him how to use a tablet once as his TV remote went out & hid TV had an app to utilize in replacement until the company dould bring him another TV remote once the weekend had ended but he wasn't too comfortable with that so I had to scurry and figure out how to reprogram his scrambled TV remote quickly or else he'd planned to stay on the same annoying TV channel all weekend... Infomercials & all...
thank you anyways, I'm holding into hope there's gotta be someone out here in techi~land here who can give some help... Sure,y someone somewhere.... Thank you very much though... Have a positive evening...
I think if you remember his pin or pattern you would be able to flash and use TWRP to access and backup his data on an external SD card and then reflash the rom on the phone and then restore his data back.

Greetings to all the developers and registered users on this site... Yes, this is my first post, but I read here pretty often and I used the search function, trust me! Seriously, I've tried all I could and I am at my wits end, but this is technology, we can't let it own us, we gotta continue owning it and that's what online communities like xda help us do, so thanks for all your past, present, and future contributions here. So I got this Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) that I can't factory reset for a number of reasons, but mainly because I believe that there is either no boot-loader or no recovery partition as a result of Metro PCS flashing the ROM...
Anyway, lets get to the juice:
- Device powers on/off, but no combo of Vol -/+ and Power buttons bring up a recovery menu or anything (holding any combo down just boot-loops)
- Device has no SIM and no micro SD card, and the battery is not removable
- Device is locked... Like, pattern-locked/google account info/too many attempts/yada yada yada
- Device has no data and no WiFi connection active, so I could not use the google account to get past the lockscreen
- Device does not have USB debugging enabled/Google drivers for ADB do not work (Windows 7 auto-detects when I plug in the phone and installs a generic Microsoft driver which cannot be removed even after uninstalling the device, and also I pointed the Device Manager to the correct Google drivers I installed with the Android SDK Tools, as well as the Samsung Naked Universal Drivers I found on this forum, and Kyocera ADB drivers I found through Google which all failed, Windows returned a message stating that the most up-to-date or best driver for this device is already installed)
What I've tried (everything possible really):
- Hard reset/Recovery from phone: FAILED
- Connect to Linux and install ADB, then tried running the adb shell, adb devices, fastboot devices, etc but phone not detected: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and install ADB (Android SDK Tools), I literally checked every single box and installed Platform-tools, google drivers, everything, got to the command prompt as admin, cd to the ADB directory, ran same commands as in linux, also tried commands on several forums and posts like adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key to remove the lock but everything: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt to install proper drivers using RootGenius, MoboRobo, PDAnet, and several other suggestions which all were oblivious/unable to detect the device despite Windows recognizing it, so they all: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt running ADB through a Cygwin terminal, but the command "sudo" was not recognized/not valid, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and use XRYViewer to extract data from the phone, possibly to see the system files and get an actual understanding of what everybody is saying you need to mount from the recovery partition, but no clue how to use this, since I can't find an XRY file in the internal storage, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and access data/recover data from device using "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android" and "iLike Android Data Recovery Pro" but both programs instructed me to enable USB Debugging, which is not possible, so the both also: FAILED
Despite this being my first post, I have scoured the forums here in addition to every other forum and webpage regarding this issue as well... There just isn't much about this phone except negative reviews, and I have come to the conclusion that on this particular model phone, I am out of options... I have a paperweight... I'm not very familiar with Android... So please correct me if I'm wrong...
Any input?
I'm curious if there are any options at this point, I have been trying to get through to this phone on several computers for the past couple days and it is frustrating me... Any input from the community would be much appreciated...
Mojo2XL, I guess you did not find an answer?

may be this:
*2767*3855# - Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
I found code in internet, but may be it works? can't check, my "wave" comes to me from USA by post for a few weeks..

Mojo2XL - Sort of.
I saw a youtub video (sorry no link) that says there was a OTA update that changed the phone's firmware that solved all the problems mentioned here. Thing is I have no carrier and cannot find this new firmware, but, I am still hunting....

let me work on this, been trying to master as many FRP bypasses as i can. I don't have the device but a client is in the same boat
I accidentally stumbled upon a something weird. I've managed to make the camera crash to the home screen somehow. I believe this was a result of holding both volume buttons and opening numerous menus while using the camera. My guess is that it overloads it after a certain amount of times and causes it to crash. I've gotten the android UI to crash like this before. I will try to recreate the scenario and update you guys on this. it's on a Kyocera Hydro Wave. Running android 5.0 I believe. Try going wild until the phone starts to lag. eventually stuff will crash and the lock screen may go with it. use this to your advantage and enable USB debugging as quickly as possible because it will reset itself after about 30 seconds. Someone else on YouTube has recently told me that it worked for them. I would look into doing that.

Is there anything a little more realistic possible? Lol, I can see an update available, can't connect to WiFi to update haha. The stuff they lock these phones with anymore i swear
I'm new to this forum, but NOT new to this site . I have visited here on numerous occasions seeking the help that needed . With that being said, I would like to offer a Bonafide, Tried and True way to factory reset the Kyocera Hydrowave . I KNOW that this work's for I have done in on numerous occasions for a friend of mine that works for Metro PCS ....
Step One: Completely power off the phone .
Step Two: Hold the Power AND Volume DOWN Buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY .
Step Three: DO NOT release any buttons, even when you get to the Boot Menu . (Very Important, If you don't do it right, you have to start all over lol ) .
Step Four: Once inside the Boot Menu, ONLY release the Power Button; or the Boot Menu will close and you have to start all over again .
Step Five: Use the Volume Down Button to Highlight the Wipe/Factory Reset Option .
Step Six: Use the Power Button to Select the option .
Step Seven: Watch the bottom of the screen for the progress, and then use the Volume Up Button to restart .
And there you have it . I hope that this helps out SOMEONE out there, because I feel good giving back for the help that I have received on here .
PS.( If you would like for me to post a Video Tutorial on this, can someone please tell me how to post the Video; I guess by me being a Newbie on here, I'm not allowed to do as of yet ) . If Anyone needs to contact me, as I'm not on here very often, my email is [email protected] .

As unrealistic as it may sound it actually works Trust me on this. its similar to the LG attack which... is nothing but entering a long password.
betanews.com/2015/09/16/bypass-the-android-lollipop-lockscreen-by-entering-a-really-long-password
Just give it a go. it already worked for one dude on youtube. it takes a while but it honestly works. If you can get it, update the phone as soon as possible turn the screen timeout off and let it update. when the phone resets the update will install and you will be able to factory reset.
I mean it couldn't hurt. if you're locked out with no factory reset and ADB tools won't work what else can you do?
I need help with a hacked possibly hidden root phone attack & i really don't know muc
I felt my phone was 'hacked', it was echoing during calls, getting really hot, passwords & secret questions on my emails were being changed, FB password changed & picture login disabled etc. etc. I BELIEVE my device Samsung J1mini is rooted HOWEVER somehow hidden cas most apps say it's not rooted but I found a hidden /root file & Superuser was only to be granted access with 'android.permissions', ok explaining it best I can. I also have PC Acer Laptop. USB ports disabled won't charge my phone. ESET picked up a virus but it disappeared b4 I could press Y to delete. Renamed I believe. The top of windows go green when I click in them the same person said Crypto something which he explained as ransomware but I've had no demands & drive has been wiped so many times there is nothing to hold to ransom. I seriously need help. Just bought a Huawei Y9 Elite LYO-02 but it's only 4 weeks old, got a new sim with new number & EXACTLY same things are happening again. So I factory reset it (whilst off) cas a password I didn't put there prevented me from phone factory resetting it. Now I'm stuck on the gmail screen & NONE of my emails work. I've watched you tube videos on how to bypass this screen but no success yet. I asked someone I didn't know very well to help & he installed Terminux/Linux on my phone & told me it was just underneath my phone he accessed, what I now realize is he was most likely setting it up so he could remote control it from his PC or IPhone 6 & he had to install Linux. I hate liars.... now wondering instead of helping he saw an opening & made the hole bigger & this guy does IT. HELP! Please be kind. I wanna boot whoever is in out & take control by rooting phone myself. And taking admin privileges back on my Acer. I am administrator but u wouldn't think so. It's running Windows 8.1.
Urgent replies please. This whole thing is doing my head in. But I'm smart & willing to learn. Someone patoent please Show Me the Light lol
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first or contact the manufacturer for stock firmware and flashing instructions.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
Hey guys,
I tried posting in a related thread, but someone suggested looking here.
I dont know as much as you guys, but I am having a problem with my LG Stylo 2 (MS550)
I am getting the "corrupt" error message and I need to get some important data from the phone's memory.
I am willing to do ANYTHING.
I decent with electronics, but I have never gotten into Android stuff.
Here is the problem:
My LG Stylo 2 froze one day and I had to take the battery out to shut it off. When I tried to reboot it, it wouldn't do anything. Now a month has passed and when I power on, sometimes it says:
"Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted"
The top left of the sceen says "Boot verification Fail!! - cause DIFFERENT_HASH" and there is always a different 4 digit number to the left of the message.
It just keeps rebooting and cycles thru the same thing.
I cannot enter recovery mode, but I can access fastboot mode and the factory reset screen. I have NOT done a reset or touched anything. I can get the computer to recognize the USB connection for the fastboot, but I don't know what software I need to look at/edit it.
I believe that I have some very important data on the phone memory. I am willing to do anything to find out.
I dont care about fixing the phone. I just need to access the data. Mainly text messages and files that are saved on the phone's memory. Photos would help, but are not important.
I have been searching everywhere and it's hard for me to find much helpful info.
I am hoping that there might be some software that might allow me to copy the phone memory. But it sounds like I might need to repair the bootloader first?
If it comes down to it, I am willing to crack it open and manually make a conection to the phone's memory. I am fairly good with electronics, but I need to know what Im looking for and how to get it. I have used arduino with an FTDI adapter to program some boards before, but nothing this complex. I am willing to purchase whatever I need to get this job done. I do not have access to a raspberry pi, but I assume that it would be compatible. I am willing to do any soldering but I dont know what connections to look for. It there somewhere I can find a complete diagram/pinout for this phone? (LG Stylo 2). If anybody knows any information about how I can get the data, please let me know.
I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and I don't know how much time I have left.
Meanwhile, I am being accused of something that I did not do, and there is evidence on the phone that will help.
You guys can be as harsh if you want, but at this point I just need a little help. I am willing to try anything.
Please let me know if anybody can help point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Hello there,
First of all i have to warn you that i am a kind of a complete newbie about most things you are talking about in this forum. So please, be indulgent.
Also, i'm french, so english is not my mother tongue but, i'll do my best, i promise
I have knowledge in computing but not very much on tablets, phones, etc...
Here's what have happened to me.
Some months ago, i was looking at my tablet (Nvidia shield K1) when suddently it litteraly comes alive without me doing anything.
As i've some computing knowledge it was obvious that someone else was controling the tablet.
So i swith it off using the turn off button. Then i swith off all my network (router and modem), switch back on the tablet and disconnected it from the network. Then i turn back on the network.
The tablet was not anymore linked to the network.
So i start searching trying to figure out what was the problem.
But, as i said my knowledge with these devices is not very good.
This is were my memories are not really accurate as this happened to me a few months ago.
I first decide to ask some help to some people with a much better knowlegde than mine. I gave them the tablet but, they gave it back to me saying that there was no problem. They even upgraded the OS from Android 6 to Android 8 by downloading the update.
So i thought my problems were over but, in fact, they were not.
When i get back my tablet i tried to go again on the internet and didn't succed.
Once i have entered the password for my network, the network appears to be registred but i can't log on it..
So i started to search again for the cause of the problem, after a few hours, i found on the SD card 2 files that weren't here the last time i took a look.
These two files were named :
- Cryptokey
- Systemcrypto
Can't remember their extension....
So, from this point, i knew the solution of the problem was out of my reach as there was probably somewhere inside the tablet some corrupted datas.
This is where i definitely made a big mistake.
First i made a hard reset of the tablet with no results.
Second i have formated the SD card where two files were saved...
Now, i own a tablet with which i can't connect to the internet at home. But, i m quite sure that if i want to connect to another network than mine, it will work. As the guy to whom i asked help first succed to connect to his network and do the update to Android 8.
So, if anyone has an idea of what could i have to do to get back a working tablet, i would appreciate.
Many thanks for reading.
Have a nice day.
Listen I’m not like really good when it come to hacking or anything but I do know that in order to hack android you either need to A, be tricked somehow into downloading and installing some malicious apk or B, someone needs to have physical possession of your device for a short time. Anyone who knows more please correct me if I’m wrong. I think some of those apps for hacking android can survive a factory reset also. But your problem sounds different than just that. It won’t connect to a WiFi network? Try a different network is what I would think to do first.
Hi
I also dont think your device got hacked like @messymatthew already told either you need to install a malicious apk yourself or someone did it with physical access.
But your main problem atm is that you cant connect to your wifi at home which leads me to the question which android 8 rom you have installed right now ?
Or is it the last official oem 5.4 rom which is android 7. In this case its maybe a problem with the PMF function of your Router.
If thats not the case you have two options:
You install the factory recovery image you can find here :
Tablet Recovery images
For this you need to download the right image for your tablet (LTE, K1)
Then follow this instructions :
Instructions - Adb needed
Or you install a Custom Recovery like TWRP you find here :
TWRP - Custom Recovery - Adb and OEM Unlock needed
After this you can install a custom recovery like LineageOS.
Maybe you interested in my unofficial version of the last official 15.1 (android 8.1) which should fit your needs if you want use it as a normal Tablet with monthly security updates.
Scavenger87 - Unofficial LineageOS 15.1
Hello,
Sorry for late reply.
Many thanks to both of you.
EDIT : Forgot to tell you that you are right, my tablet works with Android 7 not 8.
I have tried to connect straight to my modem (so not runnig through my router) and i succeed.
So it seems you are right there is a problem with my new router ASUS GT-AX 11000.
I'm gonna try the solution you are suggesting to me and will keep you posted.
Hello,
@Scavenger87 Many thanks for the help you provide.
You were right, it was the PMF function settings that were blocking my tablet to join the network.
Now, everything is working smoothly
Wish you a very nice day.
A guy that is apparently a hacker hacked into all my devices and have been controlling my phone. I just don't know how to get him off. Here's 2 pics of the recovery log.
It's taken me 2 months of reading different forums to kinda figure out what he has done to my phone. I just don't know how to fix it and get him completely off. Right now he can control all apps and anything I do on my phone. If I need to upload more logs I will do that.
I see NO logs whatsoever here. Can you please add the logs?

Yes sorry I thought I did put them up here's 3 pics I'll post the rest in a minute I'm gonna get an app that will generate logs.
If this post vanishes that means he deleted it. If been trying to post here for over a month now.
How did you find out he hacked you?
What's your phone model? (Edit: from the logs it is probably a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022)
(PS I saved those photos so I have them even if they're deleted)
@HackD_1 you might be able to reflash the firmware if you're scared, but I still want to know how you found this out (it would be helpful) and if you know what exactly he did.
Sorry for the delay in response.
Yes my phone is a moto stylus 2022 5 G.
I found out after a series of events took place that ended in me catching him on my network. When I confronted him and told him I got a screenshot is when the attacks really started.
He hijacked my network by installing openwrt on my router. I had TMobile home internet and they supply the router so I couldn't just go buy a new one. I eventually got a new router but he just did the same thing to the other one. It got so bad I had to just turn my internet off. In the beginning the attacks would be in direct result of things happening. He moved out but he still has my phone under control. When I buy a new one he just hacks it this is phone 5 in 2 months.

Im actually not sure what all he has done. I do know he uses system apps and changes permissions. He uses project treble to get system root and then he somehow has root privileges over on the phone. He can delete or just turn off any app he wants. It's so complex it's hard for me to even explain. Here's logcat logs hopefully it will help so you can help me.
I tried to reflash the firmware with the moto rescue and recovery but it stopped half way through. He messed the computer up so bad I can't even get on it without him knowing. Then he stops all downloads that have to do with fixing the phone.
It's extremely aggravating.
Ok this person is extremely intrusive and seems to be targeting you.
I have a question: the TMo gateway already runs openWRT, so how do you know he has access?
Did this happen to all your phones? Does he have physical access to your phone?
Can you reset your PC from Windows recovery (or settings if it is a Mac)?
And how do you know that he did it?
Can you boot to Recovery (volume down while powering on) snd send a pic?

@Cheshire147 @HackD_1 Don’t use that MediaTek flash tool; it won’t work in this case.
You should use RSDLite (Motorola’s internal flash tool; it works on 10/11 in my experience if you don’t plug your phone into a blue USB port (usb 3.0) ) to flash this (firmware for US retail version of the G Stylus 5G 2022).
and @HackD_1 The extent to which people on XDA can help you with are with tech related issues. If this gets serious, please report this to your local authorities.
Also, backup and reset any other devices (you said your pc is messed up) to remove any makicious software lingering on your computers, and DO NOT give this person access to any of your devices to make changes.
You should also change you WiFi password and take ALL devices off the network (for security purposes).
@HackD_1 Also, how come you now have 5 phones? You can reset all of them and sell off / give away the ones you don’t want.

I know there's only so much people on here can do. This whole thing has really been one of the worst things that's happened to me. People don't think about how much loosing control of your cell phone will stress you out. The aggravation I felt in the beginning of this because I didn't know what was wrong or how to explain it so everyone would say things like. It's possible to control a cell phone but it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY your phone is hacked. The helplessness I felt from not even being able to get tech people to believe me was unreal.
It's already gotten worst. There's no money in it for him so I thing he is getting bored with it all.
Worst part about all this and imagine how helpless you would feel when you finally say ok enough is enough and call the police just for them to say there's nothing they can do.
So here's what I know. He hacked into my network. Once on he could attack my devices. To get into the device he used either Google apps or Motorola app or even system update then once I unknowingly click his package it's game over
Project treble gets enabled and the recovery partition gets a genteric system image from AOSP once his OS is installed on my device he controls it like a developer building an os except he does things to stop me. I'm not even sure how this is possible if my bootloader is still locked.
I did read something about project treble and being able to flash certain images without unlocked bootloader so I guess that's how.
I wish i could have gotten the MOTO R&R to work but I think he did something to the download file. If I'm downloading a file he don't want me to have he will do a man in the middle and take away from the file or add to it to mess it up. I've download the Stock OS fir the stylus probably ten times. He will mess them up during download or delete them when he sees them in my phone.
I don't even have a computer anymore because he screwed mine up and got it stuck in boot loop.
If I had a USB OTG cable then I could download it onto a USB drive and install windows but mine unfortunately broke.
I have a question. Can I flash the phone using wireless debugging and another phone using tetmux or something similar?
He probably has tetmux configured to not flash it.
It seems every solution I try he has blocked.
Also if I flash the phone will that delete all the partitions? He has a bunch of partitions I've noticed. He's been kinda quiet these past couple days. Usually this post would have been erased and me blocked from this site.
He is also using my USB interface to gain access.
Rmnet. I know he's using it but can't figure out how to stop that either.
@HackD_1 flashing wirelessly is not going to work.
If he was intercepting requests to Google/Motorola servers (although idk how he signed any system apps for update), you should first fix your PC and network before trying to flash your phone.
You can order a Windows usb from eBay or something if you need windows now. And keep a USB around next time.
And can you remove all connected evices from the router configuration and change your wifi password?
